09.10.2025 00:47 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0One thing I will say about Xhekaj: his mobility looks better and that will serve him well.
09.10.2025 00:44 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Je pense que Xhekaj est un bon défenseur du 3em pairs Lorene les choses vont bien, mais je pense qu'il a du mal lorsqu’il y a imprévue. Lorsque cela arrive, il semble courir un peu après la rondelle. C’est un poste difficile à jouer et je pense qu’il s’améliorera avec l’expérience.
09.10.2025 00:41 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I think Xhekaj is a decent 3rd pairing defenceman when things are going well but I think he has difficulty when the play breaks down. When that happens, he seems to chase the puck a little. It’s a hard position to play and I think he will get better with experience.

I broke down Oliver Kapanen's final preseason game, and it reveals why he is being given an opportunity to center Demidov on Montreal's second line to start the season. I am making this free to everyone. Please consider subscribing: www.patreon.com/posts/140766...

This is incredibly sad. Arturo Gatti's son, Arturo Jr, passed away at the age of 17 in Mexico. RIP

This banger of a track speaks to me.

Yes, it’s his son
07.10.2025 01:29 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0En effet mais je crois que dans le cas de Blais, ca s'explique. Il a gagné la coupe à St-Louis lorsque Greg Bérubé était l'entraineur. Ce n'est pas surprenant qu'il soit réclamé par eux.
Dans le cas de Primeau, la perte de Woll doit affecter leurs profondeur. Ils ont même donner un essaie à Reimer.
Les Maple Leafs de Toronto réclament Samuel Blais et Cayden Primeau au ballottage.
Je crois que nous savons maintenant quelle organisation ils admirent. :) #ExCanadiens
It is so incredibly weird and scary and disheartening to watch the world's most powerful nation being systematically dismantled and pilfered by a gang of ego-thugs led by a painted carnival barker who is literally famous for being a greedy crooked cheat.
06.10.2025 18:31 — 👍 1654 🔁 416 💬 59 📌 18Toronto Maple Leafs claim both Samuel Blais and Cayden Primeau off waivers.
I guess we know which organization they admire. :) #ExHabs
This episode got more than 1500 views in the first two hours. That is very encouraging.

Habs coach Marty St. Louis today on Oliver Kapanen:
“I think he’s got the potential to be a complete player. I think he’s a guy who can kill (penalties), could play the PP…I feel like his offensive game is gonna keep evolving…His all-around understanding of the game is his ticket (to the NHL).”
That my friend is beautiful. Love me a good Talisker. Hope you enjoyed it

Good point about the Kings, Not very good defensively and their core players are not young anymore.

A lot of great answers.
While they are in no way a playoff team, i believe that Chicago is ready to start taking a step forward.
A team i would worry about is Colorado. Their depth is not good. They are one injury away from struggling.
You don't think the Habs will do as well as expected...geez Claue. :)
I think they will continue to get better but the window will truly start opening in 2 years. It takes a while for young players to gain playoff hockey experience. They are on their way though.
Bienvenue sur ce site Luc, heureux de vous voir ici

Name a NHL team that you think will do better than most expect and one that will not do as well as expected?
